November 4, 1980 - Ronald Wilson Regan a vote I proudly repeated November 6, 1984.
In 1980, I actually voted by absentee ballot, the week before the election as I was going to an out of state wedding. And I had to bring the wedding invitation to show the Town clerk that I was entitled to vote by absentee ballot.
Coming from a family of Democrats, my first was Jimmy Carter in 1976. Ford seemed like a dope with his whip inflation now buttons and Poland comments and Carter seemed smart.
Four years of Carter cured me completely. I voted for Reagan in 1980 and stuck with the Republicans ever since.
